I feel like Spring is officially here. And I couldn't be happier about it! We've had the most gorgeous weekend. Today it got up to 87 degrees F. After church Benzo and I stopped by the ILs house to borrow some tools (Benzo had to fix the lawn mower today), had lunch and then he graciously sat… Continue reading Spring is Here!

It seems weird to write about the garden when it is sleeting outside right now. Yes it is actually sleeting. I just drove home in it after having dinner at my brother's place.

Wow it's Sunday night already. The weekend is OVER already! I hope you had a lovely weekend. Today I spent some time working in the garden, trying to whack down all the weeds I was lamenting over last weekend. I made a little headway but I still have a lot of work to do. While I… Continue reading Weed Whacker
